Thanks! He does not have the carb or air cleaner, he bought it this way. I'd say most of those parts look to be in usable condition but I may have to swap some tires as there is a little cracking. It's $325 including the engine.

Just wondering if you guys can help me out... I've got the opportunity to buy this kart but I'd like to know more about it first. I'm not sure if it runs, there is no carb on the engine. What brand/model is it and what do you think it may be worth? Sorry for the poor quality pics, all I had...

If I remember right I have about $400 into it not including the engine.

I'm on the very edge of town and I just run it on backroads, old railroad beds, etc. Haven't run into any problems that way. That weld on the pipe has broken on me once, rewelded and it's been okay. The plan is to add another bracket somewhere before I paint, as well as replace the front...

I thought I'd update for you guys... been busy with my first house since I built this so there hasn't been much time for surfing around these sites! Everything is still working great, surprisingly no issues! The ammo can fuel tank doesn't leak - it can take fuel no problem. I "fixed" the fuel...

EVERY time!

Well it looks like gearing isn't my problem. It doesn't seem to be getting enough fuel! I think I'm going to try mounting a small 12v battery and fuel pump to see what happens!

Here's links to the videos! http://s277.photobucket.com/albums/kk77/lutz_a/Karts/?action=view&current=IMG_0177.mp4 http://s277.photobucket.com/albums/kk77/lutz_a/Karts/?action=view&current=IMG_0178.mp4 http://s277.photobucket.com/albums/kk77/lutz_a/Karts/?action=view&current=IMG_0182.mp4...

I built for for pretty much all those reasons above. I wanted something a little different and it's always fun to have reduced traction. lol I'm happy with the way it's turned out. I've had a few issues with it but nothing major. I need to change up the rear sprocket though. Gears 1 to...

More progress this afternoon! I pretty much finished up my to-do list. I finally got around to using my plasma cutter again and I made a bracket for the coil and a plate for the CDI box and fuel pump to mount to. Next up was the throttle linkage. It was tough to figure out a way to...

The list of things to do is finally nearing the end! - make a plate for the coil, CDI box & fuel pump to mount on - kill switch - throttle cable/linkage - choke cable - fuel tank baffle & lines - chain & tensioner Then once all that's done and if everything works.... lots of clean up and...

I finally have some more progress! My soft shock/spring issues are now a thing of the past. I got a pair off a 650 Yamaha that seem to do the trick! I picked up a K&N filter as well for $5, just need to oil it. Also, my shifter is complete! I used the splined section of the trike's chain...

Everything will be cleaned up once it's running and working properly... not much point doing it now until I know nothing will need to be changed!

I haven't mounted it yet... but I made a carb spacer out of high density polyethelyne and threaded a 1/8" NPT/1/4" barb into it to run the vacuum pulse fuel pump. It seemed to work when I test ran the motor tonight so I'll make a bracket for it and see what happens!

Right now that's all it is. I haven't decided what all I'm going to do with it. It definitely will have a baffle inside. I don't see it needing any sort of liner as I've tested it with water and it's TIGHT! It didn't lose any water at all turned upside-down and sideways and with it full over...
